With public safety concerns being at the forefront due to the current warm weather and change in ice conditions, we are making the decision to cancel the fishing component of the tournament this year.

Our decision comes based after numerous visits checking the ice and taking into consideration that most hut operators on Lake Simcoe have removed their huts. We feel the current ice conditions on Lake Simcoe (especially near the shores) out of Sibbald Point Provincial Park do not support a safe environment for the large number of participants expected. (500 plus).

We will therefore be going to a draw for cash and prizes as per tournament rules and past precedents.

The day will include the draw for cash and prizes, Barbeque, silent and live auctions and some fun raffles and contests. Teams must be present to win cash and prizes. (each team member must be present to get a prize)

Please arrive after 11am. The draw and Auctions will begin to take place at 12:30.
Please see our website for further details on the auction and day of events www.perchinforms.com

Even though mother nature has thrown us a curve ball again this year, we have to remember that the main focus is and must remain on MS - Multiple Sclerosis. Doug Poirier was diagnosed in late 2009 with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Doug's MS unfortunately has continued to get worse and he now is using a wheelchair. It hasn’t stopped him though. Doug continues to keep the fight going and to try and show others that life doesn’t stop just because you have a disability. “That is what this tournament is all about.” says Poirier.

To date Perchin for MS has raised over $125 000.00 towards helping people with MS and finding a cure!
